I just went to the CHBC reunion back in August. Patriot played with all the old members and it was awesome. It was also my daughter's first show :) Eddie is a dear family friend, didn't know he was in this! Cheers!
I'm 43 been into punk since I was twelve never had a car or a driver's license the older I get the more oi I listen to. No matter what costume I choose I'm still me
I agree w/ ss solodar! Fred Perry's and doc Martens are part of the Skinhead subculture since it was started in the mid 60's. It's the identity of a Skinhead with working class pride since the beginning so that bearded guy with glasses don't know what his talking about. But cheers btw to this great documentary about TradSkin. Oi! from Philippines!!
many were! some were kicked out! a lot of punks or skins are just outcasts looking to belong to something. that's pretty much how I got into it... no military, but started working in my early teens and the whole "working class" thing was very appealing, even though most of my local peers only looked the part! lol
I have found through the years, it's the careful words you choose and use to explain yourself to those who don't know the difference between the true skins and the boneheads.
The term Skinhead started in the UK! It wasn't to do with race it was somewhere you felt you belonged if you where Black or White, then many year's down the line it went a total different route with some people the bad route not cool! 🤔🤢
why knock tour buses, yeah some are in it for the wrong reason, some aren't, dont understand that, yeah now Warped Tour is commercialized garbage, but when it first started, it was great
Jimmy G was so wrong on this one. It pains me to say it but he was. No disrespect brother. Skins 67-69 first wave was all about working class and their take on looking smart, looking sharp! Tighter small cuff Levi’s, bar laced docs, Fred Perry polos, Ben Sherman checked shirts, thin braces(suspenders) cardigans, Harrington jackets, flight jackets, P-coats, shin length wool collared coats! Came from the Jamaicans rude boys who immigrated to London! Not to say you couldn’t dress down for every day shit like work and just cuffed Levi’s, tucked in white t-shirt, braces, and always Doc Martens!!!!!!!
Problem w/ Sab (nee Fred Pas'nitz) is I've heard him talk smack on Skrewdriver & they covered 'em back in the day!! Plus he talked down on *THE* greatest rock icon of all time (hint- last name Wilson, hails from Hawthorne, CA)... The interview I saw where he said all this garbage is still on jootoob I b'lieve & he looks like a total hippie now+ I've seen/heard him espouse elements of left-wing malarkey. 💯
I've never been really into usa's scene, but i always wanted to watch a documentary about the skins over there. i must confess this was really cool a bit more working class than the english counterpart they are more about fashion and looking good than proper blue collar working stuff. The guy from Murphy's law really did it with the speech. skinheads for life
Would a person who identified with the skinhead culture but was not working class be considered a poser or not if they identified with every thing else and appreciated the blue collar worker. I am writing a paper on true skinheads and would like to hear some feedback... OI from USA
i wouldn't think so....i think identifying with the working class means you respect honesty, hard work, staying on top of your game because you have no choice- you can't slip- that's just my opinion.
+The Mystery Machine and have pride in who and what you are..if you're white,or black...but you see what this world is coming to, WE CAN'T ALL GET ALONG... stay with your own,and if you are white and you sing about your culture,than that's you,why does everyone have to be considered racist for singing about who or what they are ???you don't hear everyone calling rappers racist cause they sing about what they do...but sing a song and put the word PRIDE in there,and all hell breaks loose...

Lmao really wtf does a fred perry have to do with anything man my first paycheck ever I wasted 115 dollars on a made in england fred perry and was dam proud of it cause I fuckn worked 4 it
I'm a Metalhead have been since I was 14 years old it's either in your blood or its not, I had a lot of people try and put me down because of the way I dressed leather jacket / Battle vest tight jeans and high Nike shoes and of course Long hair stick to what's true to you nothing much has changed I basically wear similar clothing unfortunately my hair has got fine I used to have long thick hair oh well never mind having good health is the most important and lot's of Outstanding memories and lot's more still to come Fuck Yeah! 😂😉 LOL
alot of these guys just dont get it saving for months and months just to get that bit of clothing was what we were about.....these guys just seem to think shaving your head and looking like a scruff is what its about .we would have given them a kicking just out of principle back in the old days
Pride comes before the fall. Have you heard of Jesus? I was a punk and my brother was a skin when We where younger so I understand you guys tho... God bless you all! Much love from Sweden 🇸🇪💟✝️💟
People doing it for fashion only are not skinheads....if you think you have to look the part then it's just a fad to you...Skinhead is about the working class, attitude and doing your own thing and just playing good fucking music without fucking politics....Jimmy Gestapo said it right most can't afford fucking fred perry and designer label BS...
Hey this is a great Video pity you didnt include Adolf Hitler by The Singles its being remixed and released again in August 2013 been informed Punk is going to be very big again Ged England
